Might help those who cant find cases locally.
you need a strap from a camera etc with the little sting peice to go though the camera loop.
and a small drill.
open your ngage and place the back cover with the lock hole facing you face down so you can see the inside.
Now if you look just to the right (about 1cm ) of the speaker port hole you should see a small indendted circle stamped in the cover.
drill a tiny hole though here, it should be just near the sim card when you put it back. Feed the string loop from the outside though the hole and then out the speaker port hole.
Loop the strap though the stripnk and gentlly pull tight so it sits fkat inside.
now place the cover back on and the strap should run out of the hole and speaker port ready to hang itself....around your neck.
I driiled y hole here as it was far enough from the edge not to break the cover.
but it may work closer...beware dont drill with the cover still on your phone......

Thanks for that, but does that procedure void the warranty?

I think I'll just wait for the 7610 and apply a legit Wrist Strap on that ...

YEAH, and like flashing the memory dosnt or etc etc etc,,,,
and if you wanted to couldnt you just buy another cover before you take it back...and hey a neck strap beats smashinging it down the road at break neck speeds.. which would also void the warrenty,,(i ride motorbikes)and hey only trying to help out as not all of us are in to just software upgrades but want to make their phone look their own.
besides have you tried to find a case or cover in australia latley :-?
